To download Irish company accounts, search the company on the official CRO CORE system at core.cro.ie, open its filing history, and purchase the relevant financial statements PDF for €3.50. You can also start from a company profile on Businesses.ie, which links the same CRO filings.

Step-by-step on CORE

  1. Go to core.cro.ie and create or sign into a free account.
  2. Search for the company by name or CRO number.
  3. Open the company record and click Submissions (or "Filing history").
  4. Find the latest Annual Return (B1) with attached financial statements.
  5. Add the document to your basket — €3.50 per filing — and pay by card.
  6. Download the PDF from My account → Orders.

What you actually get

  • Small companies: abridged accounts — balance sheet only, no profit and loss
  • Medium / large companies: full financial statements including P&L
  • Audited companies: auditor's report attached

Common questions

Are Irish company accounts free? No. Filing them is part of the annual return; downloading them costs €3.50 each on CORE.

How current are the accounts? Irish companies must file within 56 days of their Annual Return Date. Most recent accounts are typically 6–18 months old.

What if no accounts appear? The company may be new, dormant, or non-compliant. Check the company status — Strike-Off Listed often means missing filings.
